Reply to comment by figment1979 in Chipotle to pay former Augusta workers $240,000 for breaching labor laws by benpinette

Have you applied for a job recently? Every place says that they are hiring, but that is just to placate the overworked staff they currently have. ‘Look we’re trying, no one wants to work anymore!’ I know many people job hunting that have filled out dozens of applications only to get zero calls for interviews.

But all this garbage with Chipotle was happening during the pandemic, when businesses WERE actually hiring people off the street because they desperately needed the help. At that time, you could have pretty much walked in to anywhere you wanted to work (and not just fast food places or the like) and they'd hire you in an instant. I'm talking 2020 and 2021, possibly even the beginning of 2022.

Thankfully I'm in a job where I don't need to worry about wanting to apply for another one, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that what you described is happening right now. It wasn't when the bad conditions at Chipotle started.
